Felton, Bobcats No Closer On Contract

The Bobcats and Raymond Felton aren't much closer to a long-term deal with training camp less than a month away.

"It hasn't changed much for the better," agent Kevin Bradbury told the Charlotte Observer of negotiations with Charlotte. "We've had conversation and we hope we'll reach agreement...

"There hasn't been a ton of movement."

Bradbury maintains that Felton wants to remain in Charlotte for the long-term. The point guard could sign a one-year, $5.5 million qualifying offer and become an unrestricted free agent next summer.

However, Felton won't consider that until all long-term options are explored.

Iverson, Bobcats In Serious Talks

The Bobcats are the most likely destination for free agent guard Allen Iverson.

Dime Magazine is reporting that Charlotte has agreed to terms with Iverson, but sources told Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer that no agreement has been reached.

However, Iverson's first choice is to play for the Bobcats and those same sources claim that the two sides have engaged in serious discussions.

Bobcats Might Be Saving Room For Iverson

Larry Brown has issued support for Allen Iverson, but could the future Hall of Famer end up playing for the coach again in Charlotte?

Raymond Felton is a restricted free agent with a $5 million qualifying offer on the table. However, the point guard is looking for a longer deal and the Bobcats could have room for Iverson if another team decides to make Felton an offer.
